Fire Breaks Out in Price Street Ten
ement Row.
The iremen were called out few min
htes after 6 o'clock yesterday morning by
double alarm, from boxes 81 and 49, The
fire was in the middle of a row of frame
tenements on Price street, facing Whitfield
square. tt started in house occupied by
Mrs. y. w. Cornwell, a widow lady and her
daughter. They were awakened early in
the morning and detected smoke, but they
thought it came from a neighbours kitchen
and paid no attention to it, Awhile
after they were awakened by some
one pounding on the front door of
the house. They sprang out of bed and
opened the door into the hall The room
was filed with smoke and the stairway was
in flames. They rushed to the front win
dows and got out on the porch of an adj
joining house, and were lifted to the ground
by the firemen. The flames were quickly
got under control, and in a few minutes
the fire was out 1t started in the kitchen
on the first floor, it is supposed from defec-
tive fue.
Mrs. Cornwell lost most of her furniture
and household goods The two adjoining
houses on the north and south, occupied by
Mrs. Abigail Sampson and Joseph Campos,
were also damaged by smoke and water.
All the houses are owned by Martin Suffer,
and the loss is fully covered by insurance,

had been on the island before, and the sister
went with him and got the water. The boy
had put the head OF parlor match on the
nipple of the gun instead of cap, and just
at soon as the noise made by the hogs at
tracted the boys attention, he asked Days
to hold the gun for him until he went to
find out the cause. As soon as Days took
hold of the gun. he said it went off before
